Beautiful 5/6 bedroom Georgian town house located in the heart of Ironbridge, a charming historic town in Shropshire. With abundant period features, accommodation and peaceful charming garden, this is a property that must be viewed.
The Library House is a distinguished Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse, rich in heritage and architectural charm. This stylish home has undergone a comprehensive program of renovation by the current owners which includes a new roof. Originally built around 1735 as a residence for an Ironmaster and later serving as the town's library, this elegant home blends period grandeur with modern versatility, all enhanced by the beautifully proportioned rooms and an array of original features including sash windows, wooden shutters, bannisters and cornicing. The property is now a beautifully maintained private residence that also supports a thriving Bed & Breakfast business, offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
Ground Floor - A welcoming entrance hall with oak flooring leads to the formal sitting room, formerly the town library and features bespoke bookcases, a fireplace with multifuel stove, and well-proportioned sash windows. The dining room retains characterful quarry tiled flooring and fitted cupboards, with access back to the hall. The kitchen, redesigned in 2021, is fitted with sleek granite worktops, integrated appliances, a Falcon range cooker with gas hob, and underfloor heating and leads through to bright breakfast room with vaulted ceiling. Full height oak-framed glazed windows and doors flood both spaces with natural light and with both opening directly onto the inner courtyard.
The Eliot Room is a spacious double, offering views of the River Severn and an en suite. The Milton Room, another elegant double with built-in wardrobes and an en suite. Last but not least the Chaucer Room, which is a double bedroom with en suite and direct access to a terrace and gardens. Completing this floor is the fourth room, which is currently being used as an office but could be utilised as a single bedroom.
Upper Floors are currently used as the owner’s private quarters, however it has previously provided a fourth guest room for the B&B. From the spacious landing you have a double bedroom with ensuite, steps up to a further double bedroom formed from one of the attics and a family bathroom. A further room used as a dressing room with great wardrobe space and access to the large attic room offering an abundance of natural light from the Velux windows
Outside
From the kitchen courtyard, access can be gained to the cellar and utility area, complete with plumbing for laundry appliances, space for bikes and/or workshop use, together with a door allowing street access onto Severn Bank. Further steps lead up to the beautifully landscaped garden with flower beds, gravel paths, lawn, mature hedging, and a BBQ seating area, it’s an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing with a choice of seating areas. Although located in the heart of Ironbridge this magical outside space creates a real oasis, a place to unwind.
Location
The Library House is perfectly situated in the heart of Ironbridge, surrounded by striking period architecture and within walking distance of a range of pubs, restaurants, cafes, independent shops, and essential amenities. The town, named after the iconic Iron Bridge built in 1779, played a pivotal role in the Industrial Revolution and sits within the scenic Ironbridge Gorge—an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty popular with walkers and cyclists alike.
